Students complete math problems. In this decimals instructional activity, students practice decimal multiplication and discuss decimal placement. Students complete more practice problems and have other students check their answers....

Third graders explore the attributes of 3-dimensional shapes. In this shapes lesson, 3rd graders examine faces, edges, and vertices of 3-dimensional shapes as they construct shapes using marshmallows and toothpicks.

In this birthday instructional activity, students perform given algorithms.  Upon performing all problems correctly, the student's final answer will be his/her birthday.  This one-page instructional activity contains 8...

Young scholars solve algebraic proportions. In this algebra lesson, students convert between fractions, percents and decimals. They solve problems using the distributive property.

Young scholars practice measuring items with non standard units. In this units lesson plan, students measure shapes, lengths, and classroom objects.

Sixth graders participate in a question and answer session to begin their understanding. Students complete a practice assignment using color counters. Students' assessment is composed of using color counters to complete an independent...

Students gain practice in the use of fractions, changing fractions, using equivalent fractions, and paying attention to detail. They divide words into fractional parts. This is a fun way for kids to work with fractions.

Students demonstrate and describe the effect of multiplying or dividing by a fraction less than or greater than one. They create and explain a variety of equivalent ratios that represent a given situation. Students draw a picture of...

Ninth graders investigate the concept of probability. They use a clear objective that is a visual cue for what is required for the lesson. They apply the basic practices of probability to real life like situations.

Sixth graders use number cubes to explore volume of two-dimensional shapes. They roll a die and construct a shape using the numbers rolled as measurements of the sides. They estimate the volume of a given object, and then use the...

Ninth graders practice recognizing similarities and differences found in the graphing of inequalities and equations. Once observatioons are made they solve some of their own applying prior knowledge.

Students review and reinforce multiplication facts using a bingo game.

Ninth graders investigate and make conjectures about volume. In this geometry lesson, 9th graders analyze data and predict the outcome. They calculate volume using different tiers.

Students participate in a lesson that covers the concept of finding the circumference of a circle. The teacher covers relevant vocabulary with the students. They work in groups to measure objects and calculate the formula to find the...

Sixth graders practice the conversion of percents and fractions. They focus on the fact of both fractions and percents are part of a whole. In the independent practice the students also work with solving proportions.

Fifth graders explore three-dimensional figures. As a class, they discuss the characteristics of various three-dimensional figures. In groups, 5th graders write riddles describing the geometric shape. Partners read each other's...

Sixth graders play the game ArithmAttack, they complete as many single operations as possible in 60 seconds. They go to the Mathfrog website and select ArithmAttack. Students select their high number as 12 and their low number as 0. They...

Learners find the perimeter and area of circles, triangles, and rectangles. In this perimeter and area instructional activity, the teacher gives students formulas for each shape and measurement and works through examples on the board....

Students watch an episode of Mickey Mouse's clubhouse, "Daisy Bo Peep". As a class, they are introduced to the proper words to describe location. They also identify the circle, square and triangle shapes and end the lesson plan by...

Fourth graders devise and use problem solving strategies to explore situations mathematically (guess and check, make a drawing, use equipment). The use of logical reasoning is a focus of this lesson.

Second graders, using a minimum of four space figures, create a mobile. They use a "Draw" program to first plan out their figure.

Students create an organized web of nested grade level folers. Within each grade level folder, they create a Language Arts/Social Studies folder and a Math/Science folder. All folders be color coded.

Sixth graders create electronic manipulatives to model addition and subtraction of integers. They are introduced to the software Inspiration and use techniques such as selecting and deselecting an object, resizing an object, moving an...

Students (Resident assistants) enter their jobs in college and university housing environment with a variety of skill levels in problem solving. Because of the live-in nature of the position, however, most of the problem solving skills...
